Kinnaird Castle

Built in 1855, Kinnaird Castle is an impressive castellated mansion that serves as the seat of the Earls of Southesk. The Carnegie family, who became Earls of Southesk, built this grand residence during the Victorian period's romantic revival of castle architecture. The castle combines medieval-inspired styling with modern comfort and convenience, creating one of Angus's most impressive 19th-century mansions. Its continued use as the family seat demonstrates the enduring appeal of castle-like architecture for Scotland's noble families and the successful preservation of aristocratic heritage through architectural grandeur.
